its been a week!

sorry i stink at blogging!!
so much has happened that i am just soo busy and too exhausted to update you all on my amazing life!!
i could probably go on forever about all the everything that happened this week AND leave things out i'm sure!

lots and lots went on with Tara, but you can go to her blog for that info. ha, i had to tell some of her teachers that liked her and i got a hug from Mr. Hansen... i know veryy unexpected... AND the math gods on her side. I got Mr. Schriebers love and his 2 cents, which if you know him takes like half an hour for him to talk about... love it... and caring words from mr. helsel. which also are SUPER rare. wow, who knew!
i miss her a lot and wish i was in San Fransisco but i am trying to keep it together here by myself.

well this past week was definitely the last week for me in high school. how weird is that?!
it was full of Baccalaurette, lots of yearbook signing and seeing people for the last time.
ahhh!!

wednesday was fun. me and stephie went to the traditional in-n-out like we always do on the last day of school. love it.
then we went to seminary graduation.
i am officially a seminary graduate!

cool.

thursday and friday were definitely the best.
oh wait and saturday.
thursday was graduation. nothing beats graduation rehearsal, breakfast at Crackers and Co., swimming allll day and then keeping updated on the Suns game score WHILE singing for graduation. we are singing the Alma Mater and all the sudden there are whispers of "oh they are down by 3 with 1 minute left!!" "AH MAN THEY LOST!!"
yeah... i'm sure there was more talk about the suns game going on than the singing itself.... whatever...they are out now anyway.
steph, ryan, aunt jean, and grandma were my step in parents. it was great to have them there but i missed my mom, dad, and sister too.
becca came in town. and i LOVE her more than anything. seriously, Idaho needs to be grateful they have her because we miss her down here.
after graduation we headed to the bowling party where i didnt win ANYTHING. ha, its okay, i am only a little disappointed...
then we had breakfast at christiaans at 3 in the morning and then some of us girls slept over at VAL's.
that was wonderful.

the next day was superrr weird because all of our body clocks were way off from sleeping in until 2 in the afternoon. we ate breakfast, hung out and then went swimming at 530... but it felt like noon.
then at like 8 vals loverly dad took me, lynzi, val, and her mom all out to BJs. oh man, i love that place.
soo good!!

saturday was amazing.
i went to the lake with my favorite people. AKA the bodrero's
i'm so glad we will be related!!

anywhoo now today is sunday and i got to talk to my ABSOLUTE favorite person. which is my shrubbers tara. she felt way better today and got to talk to me! oh that just made me feel sooo much better. athough i still miss her face off....

but it is SUMMER! and i am loving it so far!!
but i need to get a journal for real. so far this blog deal has been cutting it but lately i just want to talk about things i reaaallly shouldnt put out in public. soo i'm going to officially start a journal. for COLLEGE! weird.

then i can write personal things. not just boring things like what i do with my life! ha. well... now its time to do something productive with my sunday... like write thank you's or something... later!

almost there

4 more days ladies and gents, 4 more days!
how weird is that??
really weird. graduation is sooo soon!

i can't wait to room with this girl right here. just can't wait!

well! this weekend was a good one to say the least...

friday i went to the big cheese, cheesycake, or to the general population know as The Cheesecake Factory!
yess.
so yummy.
saturday was a busy day. and that is an understatement.
first i woke up, ate, and then mowed the lawn. i know you all care
thenn i went to the choir banquet at Tia Rosas.
mmm good.

i'm going to miss choir so much. it was a huge part of my high school experience.

i came home and legitimately 5 minutes later Austin came and picked me up for our date!!
so fun.
we went to costa, the batting cages, went swimming, then played the loverly game of Just Dance!

then thennn i didn't even shower, i know, gross, and got ready again and went to val's open house graduation party thing.
so fun.

and i love her gorgeous amazing face to DEATH

i really will miss her SO much this summer!!

pretty much i am so sad/happy to graduate its UNREAL!
the gila valley temple dedication was today and that was lovely. i love president monson!

and my family leaves on wednesday for san fran to fix my sister and her brain all up!
so i'm going to starve for a week! its fine...

also, the Broadway revue was this week and it was AMAZING!

i was one of the MC's and i had a blast and a half.

lion king was amazing.

you should have gone if you didn't!!

probably i will miss doing that out of everything...

bye bye birdie...

hello world

never take one day for granted.
that's my advice from what limited knowledge and experience i have.

so these past couple days have been a little rough.
some of you may already know about my sister and thats why this past weekend wasn't as fun as i imagined with my parents being out of town and all.
don't get me wrong, i LOVED watching the boys vault at state. good job chandler willman for going 15 feet, jake jarvis for going 15'3, and josh richards for making 14'9!!
yes, that is the new 3 man record. awesome.

but unfortunately friday was when the bad news arrived.
a lot of you probably have heard but here it goes...
on Friday we found out my amazing, beautiful, wonderful, fantastic sister who i love more than life has a brain tumor. a large one too. now i won't go into detail because there is a whole blog dedicated to that if you would like to know the nitty gritty.
but its been pretty hard to cope with.
it kinda just came like a ton of bricks. except i feel like it hasn't fully hit me yet. everyday it hits me more and more... its hard.

anyway, i don't want to be depressing but i'm just not myself.
sorry...
i never ever thought anything like this could ever happen to my sister and my family.
i guess that life and anything can happen...
so i will just try to stay happy and positive!
it will all work out. i know it :)

anywhoo!
i love you all!

oh and p.s. thank you everyone who has been praying for my sister. i know you're prayers are being heard.

oh and p.p.s... here is the link to my sisters blog if you want to know more!

we love eachother

and and i love my sister... more than you!

holy crap!

this guys got pipes.

seriously, unreal.

over. forever and ever...

track is officially over.
yep, the state meet was yesterday.
and i am done.
forever.

its kinda a sad thought if you think about it. something i love and have a blast doing and perfecting i will never do again. its not like i can just set up some 15,000 dollar pits with my 400 dollar poles and 5,000 dollar runway anywhere now can I? its not like soccer, basketball, tennis, football or any of those kinds of sports where you can just get a bunch of people together and play. and its not like running where you can just go run when your 70 either. weird.

and i didn't cry after my last vault like i did for soccer on our last game. maybe  because we ended on a loss and pv ended on a good note? ha i don't know. or maybe i was just a baby back then... who knows.
 
but it was definitely a great 3 years.
recap
i went to state all 3 years.
i met some girls i will never forget and some friendships i'll have forever.
i learned things i will never learn any other way
i learned how difficult pole vaulting can be and how its mentally the craziest sport out there.
i learned how stupid my senior class is because i was deffinitly the only senior girl and there are definietly 5 juniors. they will never know how lucky they are
and most of all i had some AMAZING times and made hilarious MEMORIES, with some of my favorite people.
all three years i spent with ashli bear, lindsey pew, and chandler willman. man, i love these people to death.

i'm gonna miss spending 5 hours everyday with my fellow pole vaulters. a lot.
but it ended well and i'm trying not to dwell on the negative side of things. because we all know there always is a negative side.

this picture rocks.
and these are pretty much my FAVORITE people on the planet

i love these girls a LOT

i do not remember which meet this was... but this is me clearing 9'6. yayy...

well!
i went to Crackers and Co. with my momma, grandma, and vall for lunch... and i loved it.
i highly recommend the blackjack burger :)

also, shout out to my lovely cousin lindsey snell whom i love dearly but sadly i will not be able to make it to her wedding in cali on saturday. its the second half of state. but i still wish you the best and love you!!


tomorrow's friday.
can i hear a hurrah!

and and in exactly 2 weeks i will be sitting with my fellow classmates on the toro football field waiting to walk.
ahh!

international celebration of moms

this is becky stratton schlappi

she is the best mom and grandma you'll ever meet.

i'm serious.

i love my mom. A LOT.

i don't know where i would be without her.

okay maybe i do. lost probably and dead from lack of food, nourishment, and love.

i love her.

so does tara. we have the best mom.

she is pretty and i wish i had her good looks.

she is the best example to me and i can already tell i will be just like her.

when i go off to BYU in the fall i will appreciate the freedom but miss her meals and support and my best friend.

thanks mom for 

being the best!!

i love you 

and definitely 

could not live 

without you.

scream cone

..
..

happy cinco de mayonnaise tomorrow everyone!!

i got home from school today after receiving my free ice cream cone from sonic today at 2:53

it was a real
MIRACLE

and the irony of it all is it is the day i have NOTHING to do.
no homework. nothing

okay i am exaggerating,
i could clean my room and ricky butttt... still.

and yes, i did get a free ice cream cone.
if, you don't count the opportunity costs.

and. this. is. why.
sonic sent out a text,
yes i am one of those losers that receives them. hey, 15% of a purchase for the first text! its worth getting super excited every time i get a text and feel cool until i am depressed realizing it was Sonic...
and basically it said this,
and i quote

"It's Terrific Tuesday @ SONIC! Come try R New REAL ice cream, U R going 2 LOVE IT & want More,More,More! FREE Cones ALL DAY! 5/4/10 1txt=1cone"

all new REAL ice cream...
hmmm okay!

so i go and try it out.
me, miss out on free ice cream?
who are you kidding.

so i go, sit in my car at the drive through sweating to death in the 96 degree weather! and get my free cone

umm hi it tastes exactly the same as the old ones just maybe mayyybe a little creamier.

and and, what was their ice cream before.... FAKE?
plastic?
no, i'm sure it was ice cream i was eating originally but oookay.
but the 'new' ice cream was super tasty, don't get me wrong...

and today is going to be a great day i can tell.

and region tomorrow!
wish me luck!


p.s. if i make 10'6 sully will read 20 pages of the B.O.M
so maybe pray for me as well!!
